Cohort Details

The Stewardship for Us Team will be collaborating on developing ideas and initiatives to increase Financial Resilience in our Congregations. We have an opportunity, as demographics and cultures shift inside and outside of our congregations during this moment in history. Join us in 10 monthly one-hour cohort meetings as we develop and experiment with new ideas. Starting in September!

In each of our sessions we will lead with a money story relevant to a Stewardship topic and discuss ideas and ways we might be able to manifest those ideas in our congregations. Break out sessions will be organized by congregational size so you can collaborate with other congregations.

In our sessions we’ll explore these topics:

• Congregations as Systems
• The Psychology of Giving — Why People Give
• Building a Culture of Giving and Generosity
• Innovation in Stewardship

Facilitators

• Rachel Maxwell
• Kay Crider
• Mark Ewert
• Rev. Lydia Ferrante-Roseberry
• Rev. Sara Green
